Understanding Your Bill
You can expect to receive your first ERTH Power bill within 6-8 weeks from the date you move in.
After that, you will receive a monthly bill around the same time each month. Your monthly bill includes three types of charges – delivery, electricity, and regulatory charges. The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is responsible for regulating electricity prices for residential and small commercial consumers.
Water/Wastewater Charges
ERTH Power also bills for water/wastewater on behalf of the Town of Aylmer, Town of Goderich, and Oxford County (which includes the Town of Ingersoll). Water/wastewater rates are set by the municipality, not ERTH Power. For current water/wastewater rates, please visit your municipality’s website:
